I have a nice 1 bedroom apt in the nice area of town with a 6 car garage <ohh get me>. Best bit is the free beer that you can drink whenever you want - although the showering whilst wearing a bikini is bizarre!
I too am crap at racing - 1 win in 25ish?
I do have $500k in the bank but not sure what to spend it on (all my ammo comes from survivor games).
Dont think I will be online tonight - but should be tomorrow. See you there!
My record in races is something like 1 win in 47
I keep ending up in races on my own!
Ha ha.. You know there's no pay out or XP if you race Alone?
There is a quit option. Or is it all about the WIN for you? 😉
Marco, pimp your car's and make them invinsible
6 car Garage? 10 is where it's at these days.
Yeah and pimp cars out with armour, roll cages, bullet proof tyres then when your in freemode people can't slow you down or kill you so easily.
The racing I always start off well then crash or take wrong turning which mean I'm often last.
I'll not be on tonight as I wrecked and back at work tomorrow at 7am.
while i'm keeping it street on the XBox.POSTED 1 DAY AGO # REPORT-POST
Warton, add me - tommeh83. On a few evenings a week and up for missions.
Ha ha.. You know there's no pay out or XP if you race Alone
There is (or was, anyway) for me. Not been on for a while.
Thing is I'd sit for ages in the 'lobby' and it just wouldn't find any other players, or none who wanted to play with me anyway!
Was mucking around in the airport today, ended up with 6 stars and way too many helicopters. Tried to get in a few of the jumbos, but they don't appear playable. Anyone know anything different?
Sorry bails, I've only eve started a race on my own once (same reason as you) got no winnings and the only XP I received was for fastest lap (kinda easy with no rivals).. Maybe it's changed since/or before..
The stairs aren't hooked up to the jumbos for me, maybe once you've levelled up? Who knows.
Anyone help me find an aircraft / heli with firepower? I don't even know how to get into the military base.
to get in a jumbo, stand underneath it, and press the button you use to get in and out of other vehicles
If you drive up onto the hills behind the military base you can find some higher ridges to drive off and you clear the fence.

Not sure at what level - but there is a large runway 2/3rd up on the map. For be there is a large prop plane and standing beside it is a heli with guns (both of which you can borrow).
Thanks guys! I should be on after 10 tonight if anyone wants to join in some crew carnage!
Yay........ Just received my $500000 no idea what to spend it on mind, CBA looking at apartments and happy with my 2 cars (until I level up more)
Stimulus package? $500,000
Winning a race by pushing a whiny american kid off his motorbike one checkpoint before the finish? Priceless.
Yes the $500K was part of the stimulus package 🙂
On a positive point I think there will be a coup soon in the world of PHUK.
I have now got more points than Drac (our esteemed leader) and Koala is not far behind. Drac I think you need to start getting your toothbrush out and get cleaning the toilet!!!!!
Viva la revolution!
Only carnage I managed was self inflicted, blew myself up twice while racing you marco and pretty much lost my bearings in deathmatch while you singlehandedly got through all 9 levels, I really shouldn't bother doing missions at all when I'm knackered. 😉
- but still beat me.... I am utter pants at car racing!blew myself up twice while racing you marco
The survivor was good - 1 person on each flank and someone with a decent gun in the centre to get the easy kills = a simple way to get lots of points and £20K!
I'm on my last shift for a week, except Sunday overtime, so I'll fix the points difference. If I don't get distracted by Call of Duty. Might buy supercar with my £500k or save up for a combat heli.
Survivor didn't get off to a great start for me, I'm a one gun type of guy even in FPS and when I chose assault rifle (all I've ever used) realised I had no ammo.. Queue lots of fumbling around trying random weapons (many for the first time) and failing miserably, I even bazooka'd a lone harmless goon at one point. I'm pretty crap at choosing a good place to camp too and generally just rely on being a quicker draw but when tired I can't cope with following the radar too well so that strategy goes wrong fairly quickly..
In any bream based game I Basically need looking after but just treat me as cannon fodder rather than risk your own life to bail me out 😉
Any bream based game? What was that angling simulator?
How do you push people off motorbikes then?
oh and jumbos are nickable in single player, scroll back through the thread for a pic. Great fun to fly around, they feel suitably jumboid.
EDITED to correct my own stupid joke gone wrong based on someone else's typo.. irony...
what's a brake based game? Only ever played "Hope fade roulette" in the 90s on the DH bike 😉
For Knocking motorcyclists off, A car definitely helps 😉 otherwise it's T-bone, sideswipe or shunt into an immovable object time 😉

How do you push people off motorbikes then?
Offroad race, 'Grass Route' - I was in a dune buggy he was on a sanchez, there's a few bridges towards the end of the race, bided my time and gave a nudge as we approached the last one to send him wrong side of the guardrail into rocky dooooooom. And an explosion of f-bombs.
Almost Exactly that ^^ happened to me against a L60ish dude. I wasn't paying attention and thought it was a bikes only race and he started with a fully pimped off road beetle, I led the entire race and dodged multiple take out attempts only to get taken out on the last bridge.. I'm no winey American though so just laughed 😉
Talking of winers tho, does hitting "dislike" after a mission/race actually change anything, or is it just to show other players your vote?
I always just hit "like" when the option comes up as it moves onto the next screen as soon as everyone has voted and I'm impatient.
Yeah the buggys/injections always make up ground in the last stretch on that race, as long as you're not too far behind!
I think the likes thing just adds to the overall % rating of that race/deathmatch/job?
The vote is for Rockstar, if a mission proves unpopular they'll remove it. Well so they claim.
Ah.. Right will start using it appropriately, which still means hitting "like" each time, haven't found one I disliked yet!
Trevor showed me yesterday why he should be my fave character. Switched to him on single player, and it loads showing a bridge. But no Trevor to be seen. An arm grabs on to the railing and up pops Trevor. Just in a pair of y fronts! He says quickly, hmm no clothes, no car.... ahhh no problem! And starts to strut off. Quality, except he was drunk/drugged for the next fee mins making driving interesting!
Loving the randomness of gta!
Yeti_manuk, whoever you are ... i wanted you to win last race but you lil b**ch kept crashing and spinning around. Don't try your crafty PIT tricks on me, you bad sports.
So far Molgrips in my experience is hardest to beat at races.
Was invited by random player for a motorbike ride into his posh flat. Looked around it, got drunk and run away from him. Must have liked my female character, pervert.
Blew off my 500K on car upgrades, didnt buy any property ... my old flat suits me well enough.
I blew my £500k on a supercar too, it's nice to be able to drive your own car in a race
Only got a 2 car garage - that'll have to do me for now
Finally managed to get on survivor missions last night - didn't take the call from Ron when I levelled up and he never called back.
Apologies to yeti_man for being so hopeless - found it a bit of a steep learning curve! Made more money last night than I ever have in a single session
Picked up my Gioteck EX-01 Bluetooth Headset £9 from Asda. It's not very secure, but should be ok for sitting in a chair playing games. Doens't actually go in your ear, but on it, so should be more comfy long term.
Ha ha.. Molgrips? 😀
Comedy gold! Popstar
Is the supercar actually any faster in races? I seem to manage ok with the cars available at the selection screen.
Still homeless and sleeping in my 2car garage with half a million in the bank. You can tell I'm half Scottish, eh?
I thought hiding at the bottom of the hill at Drumlanrig was bad - but you won't even spend virtual money either?! I'm gonna name you 'Andy' 😉
Campkoala, what?
The basic car isn't quicker when you buy it - but you can then spend money on it to upgrade engine/ brakes etc. although you need to level up or win races using that class of car to unlock a lot of the upgrades
Plus you can pimp it to your liking
Plus you can drive your new supercar around in freemode
I went for the one that looks like a Lamborghini, I seem to get on best with the handling of that one of all the cars I've tried
I also have a pimped out muscle car (the one that looks like a mustang) as a "daily driver"
Want to earn some easy money?
Why don't we agree on a time one night and get the whole PS3 (sorry kids) crew racing supercars "down the drain" 1 lap, 8 players, easy 10k every 5-10mins..should be a laugh, that track is carnage,!
Drumlanrigg was a joint decision, I support an army of kids remember all my spare money goes on booze, **** & burgers..
Ok. Supercars a waste of money then, ta.
Got a free one already
jesus wept, you've got kids in GTA now too?!
I'm in. Should be around tonight from 8 ish, my wife has to weave.
I don't own a supercar though so unless I'm getting a stimulus package I may be slow.
My JESUS is on valium!
Molgrips, you're given a selection of supercars to choose from on selection screen
It's ok molgrips - everyone gets a supercar to use in a supercar race. You just get the option to use your own if you happen to have one
Not me tonight though - should be on Saturday or Sunday night though.
I'm away this weekend.. Should manage a bit of GTA tonight tho.
OIC
Tim - I'm Yeti_man and that was rather fun.
I was wondering each round how quickly you'd get killed but you certainly got better.
I'm rubbish at racing I always seem to make a mistake or pick the slowest car so I've been doing the survival ones - you need at least 2 people and a decent place to cover each other - then it's not too difficult.
I may be on later tonight
Might be on later too after we've been out for a meal.
